This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1920 edition. Excerpt: ... were collected by Demetrius in his search for the wisdom current among the folk, whether in the form of proverbs, sayings of wisemen, or stories. Fables are thus an interesting and early example of the transformation of oral into written literature. Fable with its explicit 'moral' is thus a highly differentiated form of the Beast-Tale, and it must not be considered at all surprising that it occurs in full force in one or two countries. Anecdotes and tales about beasts occur everywhere in South Africa and among the American-Negroes. An attempt has been made by Sir Richard Burton to trace, the fable, properly so called, to Africa and to suggest that it recalls to man reminiscences of his animal ancestors. The sole basis is of this bizarre theory, however is an Egyptian paraphrase of the fable of 'The Mouse and the Lion' found in a late Demotic papyrus, which also contains Coptic versions of the 'Ritual of the Dead'; and it must, therefore, be summarily rejected. Wherever we find the fable with its distinctive moral, it can be traced either by derivation or imitation to Greece or to India. 11. Legrand, E. 12. Frazer, J. G. 13. MacCulloch, J. A. 14. Irving 15.
